Covering other duties during Covid as short staffed , too many managers not interested in staff point of view

As a short term contract will be looking for another role elsewhere ,a lot of good staff being used & not appreciated. While nothing done about long term absentees. A lot of pressure on just getting job done .

Pros

Money good on night shift .if full time contract you get a good pension

Cons

No travel time, management structure complicated sometimes not interested in personal needs

Overworked and under paid...

The pay isn't enough for the amount of stress working here causes - and I don't mean working as a nurse/doctor. - on the administration side. Bear this in mind!

Secure

A great place to start out however salary progression is very slow. I believe the salary does not reflect all that you are expected to do as the job description that relates to the salary is outdated and since it was written up many more tasks have been added. Therefore I believe a review of the band for accounts payable assistants needs to be revisited as they are expected to do more than just accounts payable.

enjoyable workplace

working in theatres was both relaxed and fast paced, i always found a good morale which made it enjoyable. The pay could be better, especially living in cornwall.

Staff bank.

I love that I can choose my hours and where I work, although often ill be moved to other areas and if on an early I'll be asked if I fancy a long day. Pay isn't great, although being bank staff it's weekly. The flexibility works well for me as it means I can continue my studies alongside earning a wage. Opportunity for career development, although apparently it can be competitive.

No comment

Bad culture for bullying. Staff work long hours, breaks under management discretion. Sickness viewed as letting your workmates down. Agency staff paid more and can pretty much do nothing. No ivs no critical meds no care with patients.

Stressful but rewarding

Stressful at times but can be rewarding. Change can be slow and sometimes don’t utilise people’s skills in the best way. Demand outstrips capacity which is hard to manage.

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Low morale

Secure job

Working in the NHS is a secure job with a great pension. Can be difficult at times working with the public but it's a rewarding role. Hopefully there is a pay rise for NHS staff soon considering the cost of living now.

Productive and nice place to work

There can be times it can be stressful but not all the time, sometimes you feel like you are well supported by your team managers and very understanding about everybody's circumstances.Overall the pay is good but can be even greater if we had more better pay for the hard work we do here. However it is not bad pay but reasonable.
